Game Culture
Subotron is game culture association based in vienna. They have a beautiful shop in the Museums Quartier with game consoles and assecoires of all generations for sale. I would love to have a Vectrex … nostalgia…
Right now they have a call for a residency on history of digital game culture for fall 2009. Go for it!
Top Shot Helmet
And another cool project by Julius von Bismarck. The Top Shot Helmet gives you a 3rd person view on yourself via a ballon cam from above. The pictures and the movies are great. The shiny white ball ‘replacing’ his head and the athmosphere of the scene reminds me of Kubricks 2001. Somehow his headless performance has also some connection to Mark Jenkins headless homeless sculptures. His alienated acting causes a lot of reactions in the public audience.

"Try again" pics
I had a very good time in Madrid. The “Chat” performance went very well, we had a lot of fun on the street and in a bar. It is a great honor to find myself in between all these great game art classics of the “Try again” exhibition at La Casa del Encendida.
